This was actually great fun for an unfinished game. I was facinated with building my own world. Would be really interesting to see where you take this. Thanks for submitting, even in this state.

This is a great baseline for a game. Keep it up.

Hey, as someone who struggled learning grid systems in Unity in the lead-up to the jam, I can respect this!

Unfortunate that it could not be finished, but it looks and sound promising!

Cool idea, hope you continue on it!

Cool concept unfortunately not finished.

That looks like it involves a lot of maths :o, very cool.

Really love the art and the aesthetic of the game! Looking forward to a completed version!

awesome! the visuals are great! looking forward in playing it once finished, keep it up!

The art is so good. If you have finished what u were looking for it would have been awesome. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

The visual aesthetic is probably the best one I've seen so far in the jam! That just makes it sadder that you couldn't finish it. Still quiet cool and relaxing in its own way.

I realize this is a game jam and it's a lot to ask of people to make a game in only a week, especially between work, obligations, and so forth; but right now, what you have is less a game and more of a simulator.  That isn't necessarily bad, but if you compare it to something like Townscaper or original Minecraft, there just isn't much for me as the player to do besides Tetris together pieces in a way that's aesthetically pleasing; and even then, my options are limited.

From a technical perspective, I admire the skill it took to actually make this work.  I know from my own experience that creating such an algorithm isn't easy.  Not sure if you used wave-function collapse or something similar.  What you've made looks fantastic, though, and it all works seamlessly.  I like how all the terrain grows out from the ground and the art style is very cute.

This was actually one of the entries I was interested to try, as the screenshots reminded me of Bad North.  I feel like if you keep going with it, either adding more tiles or some problem to overcome, you'll have the basis for a really great game.  Best of luck to you.

This should be interesting game idea. I'm looking forward on the updates. Keep up the good work!

Not gonna lie, you said the game wasn't done. But this was actually pretty fun on it's own haha. Love the way everything spawns as you click. Almost hypnotic. Good work, would love to see the next version if you end up continuing it!

Sorry you didn't have time to make your game what you wanted it to be.

I've been there before and it's not the best feeling.

On the bright side if it makes you feel any better, you made an awesome terrain generation tool :D

I really like the way the new tiles pop up and the island expands. It may not be what you wanted but at the very least you made a very cool looking island generation tool!

Good job man! Can't wait to see what the final game looks like!

Well implemented mechanic!

Submitted(+1)

Placing the tiles down feels great, a shame you didn't get to progress it further as you mentioned

Submitted(+1)

I like the low poly look!

Submitted(+1)

What we have looks and feels good! Would love to see my land populated and a mechanic to protect or add decision making to tile placement I think is great. Wanting to build a mountain range around the village to protect from a flood or building farmland; world is your oyster!

hey. read your page and played your game.

the idea seems good.

from what I saw: the placement of islands felt good and the growing animation is good too.
